Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban‘s Separation: Weight Loss and Distance Raise Questions
Nicole kidman, 57, and Keith Urban, 57, are currently living apart. Urban has moved into a separate residence in nashville while continuing his High and Alive world tour,according to reports. Kidman remains in Tennessee with thier daughters,Sunday Rose,17,and Faith Margaret,14.
Sources indicate a growing distance between the couple, highlighted by Kidman’s noticeable weight loss and a series of solo appearances. A source close to the family stated, “Nicole didn’t want to see the truth, but the signs were there.Her weight loss, the solo appearances, the distance from Keith - all of it pointed to a marriage and people in trouble. For friends around her, it should have set alarm bells ringing.”
The couple was last publicly photographed together in June at the FIFA Club World Cup in Nashville. Observers noted a lack of affectionate displays,a contrast to their usual public behavior. Their final social media interaction occurred weeks later with Kidman posting a black-and-white anniversary tribute on Instagram. Urban responded with only a heart emoji, without making a post of his own. A source commented, “Nicole poured her feelings into that post, but Keith’s minimal reply stood out. It was a clear signal of how things really were between them.”
Further fueling speculation, Kidman attended Wimbledon in July with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, without Urban. That same month, she applied for Portuguese residency. While Urban’s camp attributed his absence from the required appointment to his touring schedule, insiders suggested the move signaled Kidman’s desire for independence. “Nicole was beginning to carve out her own path. To outsiders, the Portugal residency looked less like logistics and more like a statement of independence,” one source said.
Kidman’s physical change also drew attention. At the Golden Globes in January, she appeared noticeably thinner in a fitted Balenciaga gown, prompting concern. A nutrition expert noted she appeared to be well below the average weight for her height. A source familiar with her schedule added, “Nicole has been pushing herself relentlessly. With non-stop filming, constant travel, and family demands, the strain was beginning to show.”
The couple’s diverging careers contributed to the growing distance. While Urban toured North America, Kidman spent the summer in London filming Practical Magic 2, renting a Hampstead mansion for over $87,000 a month. An insider revealed, “They did try to stay in touch every day, but after Nicole lost her mother, the long stretches apart became more obvious. It felt like they were drifting into separate lives.”
Kidman previously acknowledged the imperfections inherent in marriage. While promoting her Netflix drama the Perfect Couple last year, she stated, “There’s no perfect anything – anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.” When asked if her marriage was perceived as perfect, she replied, “I don’t see any of that. No, I don’t see that.”
